[0059] Please refer to Figure 1-3This utility model provides a mixing tank with an easy-to-flip lid, including a tank body 1, a lid 2, a fixing frame 3, and a flipping auxiliary mechanism 4; wherein,
[0060] Tank 1, as the core container of the mixing tank, is securely mounted on the fixing frame 3. The fixing frame 3 provides a solid and reliable support foundation for tank 1, ensuring that tank 1 remains stable throughout the entire use process and will not shake or shift due to external factors, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation of the mixing tank.
[0061] The lid 2 is mounted on the top of the tank 1 in a flip-up manner (e.g., hinged). This design allows the lid 2 to be opened and closed flexibly according to actual usage needs, which facilitates the addition of materials to the tank 1 and effectively seals the tank 1 during the mixing process to prevent material leakage and ensure the stability and safety of the mixing environment.
[0062] The flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 is the core innovation of this embodiment. One end is set on the can lid 2, and the other end is set on the fixing frame 3. This arrangement allows the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 to play a crucial assisting role in the flipping process of the can lid 2. Specifically, when the can lid 2 is in the closed state, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 is in a non-forced state. At this time, it does not exert any additional force on the can lid 2, ensuring the tightness and stability of the can lid 2 when closed. When it is necessary to open the can lid 2, as the can lid 2 is gradually opened, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 will naturally enter a force-extended state. In this state, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 will generate an upward thrust, which can effectively assist the operator in flipping and opening the can lid 2.
[0063] This embodiment, through the carefully designed tilting auxiliary mechanism 4, successfully and effectively solves many long-standing and challenging problems in the opening and closing of the lid 2 in traditional mixing tanks. Firstly, the upward tilting force provided by the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 plays a crucial role in opening the lid 2. It makes opening the lid 2, which previously required considerable effort from the operator, easy and convenient, greatly reducing the labor intensity of manual operation. Operators no longer need to painstakingly pry open the lid 2 as with traditional mixing tanks; they can easily open it with the help of the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4, thus significantly improving work efficiency, shortening operation time, and providing a strong guarantee for the smooth operation of the production process.
[0064] Secondly, the presence of the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 ensures that the tilting process of the tank lid 2 is smooth and controllable. In the use of traditional mixing tanks, the opening and closing of the tank lid 2 relies entirely on manual operation, which can easily lead to a series of safety hazards due to improper operation by the operator. For example, if excessive force or uncoordinated operation is used when opening the tank lid 2, it may cause leakage of materials inside the tank. These leaked materials may be corrosive, toxic, or have other hazardous properties, causing serious pollution to the surrounding environment and posing a direct threat to the health of the operators. At the same time, improper operation may also cause the tank lid 2 to close unexpectedly during the opening process, resulting in injuries or damage to the equipment structure of the mixing tank, affecting the overall performance and service life of the equipment. In this embodiment, the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 can precisely control the tilting speed and angle of the tank lid 2, ensuring that the tank lid 2 remains stable during opening and closing, avoiding the aforementioned safety hazards caused by improper operation, effectively protecting the personal safety of the operators and the normal operation of the equipment, and laying a solid foundation for the long-term stable use of the mixing tank.
[0065] In one embodiment of this invention, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 is a gas spring. Gas springs, as a widely used power component in industry, possess many excellent characteristics, making them very suitable for the flipping auxiliary application of this mixing tank.
[0066] Gas springs use high-pressure gas as their working medium, transmitting and converting force through the compression and expansion of the gas. In the structure of the mixing tank in this embodiment, one end of the gas spring is securely connected to the tank lid 2, while the other end is fixed to a preset position on the fixing bracket 3. This connection arrangement ensures that the gas spring can fully utilize its mechanical properties during the flipping of the tank lid 2.
[0067] Specifically, when the can lid 2 is closed, the gas inside the gas spring is in a relatively stable compressed state. At this time, the gas spring does not apply significant additional force to the can lid 2, so that the can lid 2 can fit tightly and stably against the top of the can body 1, effectively ensuring the sealing of the inside of the can body 1, preventing material leakage during the mixing process, and providing a safe and reliable environment for the mixing operation.
[0068] When the lid 2 needs to be opened, as the lid 2 begins to rotate upwards around its hinge axis with the tank body 1, the gas inside the gas spring is further compressed. According to the working principle of the gas spring, at this time, the gas spring generates a spring force opposite to the compression direction, that is, an upward tilting thrust. The magnitude of this thrust is designed and matched to help the operator easily open the lid 2. The operator no longer needs to use considerable force to overcome the weight of the lid 2 and the possible friction, as with traditional mixing tanks. Only a small initial force is needed, and the gas spring can continuously provide a stable upward tilting thrust, allowing the lid 2 to open smoothly and easily. This greatly reduces the labor intensity of manual operation and improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0069] Meanwhile, the gas spring operates smoothly and reliably. The thrust it generates can be automatically adjusted within a certain range according to the opening angle of the lid 2, ensuring that the lid 2 maintains a stable movement throughout the entire flipping process. This smooth and controllable characteristic effectively avoids problems such as the lid 2 suddenly falling or shaking due to uneven force or operational errors when manually opening the lid 2 in traditional mixing tanks. This eliminates safety hazards such as material leakage, personnel injury, or equipment structural damage caused by improper opening of the lid 2, comprehensively protecting the personal safety of operators and the normal operation of the mixing tank equipment, further enhancing the safety and reliability of this mixing tank in practical applications.
[0070] In one embodiment of this invention, the number of the tilting auxiliary mechanisms 4 is determined to be two. This number is not set arbitrarily, but is based on a comprehensive balance of factors such as the overall structural stability of the mixing tank, ease of operation, and safety.
[0071] Specifically, the two flipping auxiliary mechanisms 4 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the tank lid 2. From a structural mechanics perspective, this symmetrical distribution effectively balances the forces acting on the tank lid 2 during opening and closing. When the tank lid 2 is flipped, the flipping auxiliary mechanisms 4 on both sides function simultaneously, and the thrust they generate coordinates and restrains each other, forming a stable and balanced mechanical system. This balanced mechanical action avoids problems such as tilting and swaying caused by excessive force on one side of the tank lid 2 during flipping, thus ensuring that the tank lid 2 can smoothly open and close along a predetermined trajectory, greatly improving the overall stability and reliability of the mixing tank structure.
[0072] In terms of ease of operation, the two symmetrically distributed tilting auxiliary mechanisms 4 provide operators with a more relaxed and labor-saving operating experience. Since both mechanisms simultaneously provide an upward tilting thrust, they share the weight of the can lid 2 and any potential frictional resistance. Compared to a single tilting auxiliary mechanism 4, this dual-mechanism design reduces the load on each mechanism, thus generating a more stable and continuous thrust. When opening the can lid 2, the operator only needs to apply a small initial force, and the two tilting auxiliary mechanisms 4 work together to easily lift the can lid 2, greatly reducing the labor intensity of manual operation and improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, when closing the can lid 2, the symmetrically distributed tilting auxiliary mechanisms 4 also act as a buffer and guide, allowing the can lid 2 to fall smoothly and fit snugly against the can body 1, making the operation process smoother.
[0073] In summary, setting the number of tilting auxiliary mechanisms 4 to two and symmetrically located on both sides of the tank cover 2 is a designed and optimized solution that has significant advantages in improving the structural stability and ease of operation of the mixing tank.
[0074] Please refer to this again. Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of this invention, the easy-to-flip mixing tank innovatively adds a key component, mounting base 5, to the original structure. The introduction of mounting base 5 is an important measure to optimize the overall structure and improve the function of the mixing tank, aiming to provide a more stable and precise installation foundation for the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, thereby improving the working performance and reliability of the entire mixing tank.
[0075] Specifically, two mounting seats 5 are planned and arranged on the fixed frame 3. The positions of these two mounting seats 5 are not arbitrarily determined, but rather based on rigorous mechanical analysis and consideration of actual usage requirements. They are connected to the fixed frame 3 through reliable methods, such as hinges, to ensure that the mounting seats 5 can be firmly fixed to the fixed frame 3. During the long-term use of the mixing tank, there will be no loosening or displacement problems, providing a stable working platform for the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4.
[0076] One mounting base 5 corresponds to one flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, and this one-to-one correspondence layout has many significant advantages. From an installation and fixing perspective, each flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 can be precisely positioned and securely installed through its matching mounting base 5. The shape and size of the mounting base 5 are specially designed according to the structural characteristics of the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, so that it can fit with the connection parts of the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, firmly installing the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 on the mounting base 5. This precise installation method not only ensures the stability of the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 during operation, but also avoids problems such as vibration and noise caused by improper installation, and extends the service life of the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4.
[0077] In actual operation, this corresponding arrangement ensures that the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 fully performs its function of assisting in flipping the lid. When the lid 2 is opened or closed, the two flipping auxiliary mechanisms 4, supported by their respective mounting bases 5, can work independently and collaboratively. The thrust or pull generated by each flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 can be accurately transmitted to the lid 2, making the flipping action of the lid 2 smoother and more stable. For example, when the lid 2 is opened, the two flipping auxiliary mechanisms 4 simultaneously generate an upward thrust. Through the stable support of the mounting bases 5, the thrust is evenly applied to both sides of the lid 2, avoiding tilting or jamming of the lid 2 due to uneven force, and greatly improving the efficiency and safety of opening the lid 2.
[0078] Furthermore, the mounting base 5 facilitates the maintenance and repair of the mixing tank. Since each tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 has its own independent mounting base 5, when maintenance, replacement, or adjustment of the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 is required, personnel can easily disassemble and install the corresponding tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 without affecting the normal operation of other components. This modular design concept makes the maintenance of the mixing tank more efficient and faster, reduces maintenance costs and downtime, and improves the overall utilization efficiency of the mixing tank.
[0079] In summary, in this embodiment, by setting two mounting seats 5 on the fixed frame 3 and fixing one mounting seat 5 to one flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, a reliable installation guarantee is provided for the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, the overall structure of the mixing tank is optimized, and the working performance, safety and maintainability of the mixing tank are improved.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment of this invention, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 and the tank lid 2 are arranged at a 45° angle. This specific angle is not arbitrary, but rather the optimal solution derived after comprehensively considering key factors such as the mechanical principles, ease of operation, and overall structural stability of the mixing tank in actual use.
[0081] From a mechanical perspective, when the tilting assist mechanism 4 and the can lid 2 form a 45° angle, a highly efficient and stable force transmission system is created. During the opening of the can lid 2, the tilting assist mechanism 4 needs to provide an upward thrust to overcome its weight. According to the principles of force decomposition and composition, the 45° angle allows the force applied by the tilting assist mechanism 4 to be decomposed in a relatively balanced manner into a vertically upward component and a horizontal component. The vertically upward component acts directly on the can lid 2, assisting it in opening upwards; while the horizontal component balances the lateral stress that may be generated during the tilting process, preventing the can lid 2 from wobbling or shifting due to uneven force distribution. This force transmission method allows the tilting assist mechanism 4 to generate a large effective output force with a small input force, thus assisting the can lid 2 in opening more efficiently, significantly reducing energy consumption and the labor intensity of operators.
[0082] In terms of ease of operation, the 45° angle makes the opening process of the can lid 2 smoother and less strenuous. When the operator initiates the opening operation of the can lid 2, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 applies a thrust at a 45° angle. This angle allows the can lid 2 to flip at a suitable speed and trajectory. It avoids both excessively small angles that would result in a slow opening speed, affecting work efficiency, and excessively large angles that would cause the can lid 2 to open too quickly and be difficult to control. The operator can easily control the degree of opening of the can lid 2, stopping or adjusting the opening action at any time according to actual needs, greatly improving operational flexibility and convenience. At the same time, this design also allows the can lid 2 to fall back more smoothly during the closing process, reducing damage to the can body 1 and the can lid 2 itself caused by excessive impact, and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0083] From the perspective of overall structural stability, the 45° angle helps maintain the balance of the mixing tank during the opening and closing of the tank cover 2. Since the two tilting auxiliary mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tank cover 2, each at a 45° angle, the forces they generate are coordinated and mutually restraining, forming a stable mechanical balance system. This balance system can effectively resist the interference of external factors (such as vibration and wind) on the mixing tank, ensuring that the tank cover 2 remains stable during tilting and preventing abnormal situations such as tilting or over-tilting. This ensures the safety of the materials inside the mixing tank, avoids material leakage and equipment damage caused by the instability of the tank cover 2, and provides a reliable guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the mixing tank.
[0084] In summary, in this embodiment, setting the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 and the tank cover 2 at a 45° angle is a designed and optimized solution that has significant advantages in terms of mechanical performance, ease of operation, and structural stability, providing strong support for the efficient, safe, and stable operation of the mixing tank.
[0085] In one embodiment of this invention, the design of the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 demonstrates ingenuity and practicality, significantly optimizing the flipping trajectory of the tank lid 2 and providing a solid guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the mixing tank.
[0086] From a structural design perspective, the hinge between the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 and the can lid 2 is carefully positioned close to the hinge between the can lid 2 and the can body 1. This hinge arrangement is not arbitrary but based on an in-depth analysis of the mechanical principles and spatial relationships during the flipping process of the can lid 2. When the can lid 2 is opened, because the hinge point between the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 and the can lid 2 is close to the hinge point between the can lid 2 and the can body 1, the force applied by the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 can more accurately guide the can lid 2 to flip along a predetermined trajectory.
[0087] During the actual flipping process, the tank lid 2, under the action of the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, will form a backward tilting posture. This backward tilting posture has several important implications. First, from the perspective of avoiding component interference, the mixing tank usually has a stirring mechanism installed inside. When the tank lid 2 is closed, this stirring mechanism is located inside the tank body 1 and has a certain spatial relationship with the tank lid 2. When the tank lid 2 is opened in the traditional flipping method, the stirring mechanism may interfere with or collide with the inner wall of the tank body 1 as the tank lid 2 flips. However, the flipping trajectory optimized by the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4, which makes the tank lid 2 tilt backward, can effectively increase the spatial distance between the stirring mechanism and the inner wall of the tank body 1. This ensures that the stirring mechanism maintains a safe distance from the inner wall of the tank body 1 throughout the flipping process, avoiding component damage caused by interference or collision. Once a component collision occurs, it may not only cause deformation or breakage of the stirring mechanism blades and scratches or dents on the inner wall of the tank body 1, affecting the normal operation and service life of the equipment, but may also cause safety hazards such as material leakage.
[0088] Secondly, from the perspective of preventing material contamination, the materials processed in the mixing tank often have specific quality requirements and hygiene standards. If the mixing mechanism collides with the inner wall of tank 1, impurities or coatings on the mixing mechanism or the inner wall of tank 1 may fall off and mix into the material, thus contaminating it. This would cause serious quality problems and could even lead to safety accidents. The optimized tilting trajectory of the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 avoids such collisions, ensuring the purity and quality safety of the material.
[0089] Furthermore, this optimized flipping trajectory enhances operational safety and ease of use. Operators no longer need to worry about interference between the stirring mechanism and the inner wall of the tank 1 when opening and closing the tank lid 2, allowing for easier and smoother operation. Simultaneously, it reduces equipment maintenance and downtime due to component damage, improving production efficiency and lowering production costs.
[0090] In summary, in this embodiment, the flipping auxiliary mechanism 4 optimizes the flipping trajectory of the lid 2 through its special hinged layout with the lid 2, so that the lid 2 forms a backward tilting posture after being flipped open, effectively avoiding interference or collision between the stirring mechanism and the inner wall of the tank 1.
[0091] Please refer to this again. Figure 1-4 In one embodiment of this invention, the easy-to-flip mixing tank is further equipped with a key structural component, a weighing support module 6. This design enriches the functional characteristics of the mixing tank and significantly improves its overall stability and reliability.
[0092] On the one hand, the weighing support module 6 has a weighing function. With its internal weighing sensor, it can measure the weight of the tank 1 and the materials inside in real time and accurately, and transmit the relevant data to the control system. This provides accurate data support for key aspects of the production process, such as material proportioning and quality monitoring, and helps to improve the automation level of the production process and the stability of product quality.
[0093] On the other hand, the weighing support module 6 also serves a supporting function. Looking at the number and layout of the weighing support modules 6, three weighing support modules 6 are carefully arranged on the fixed frame 3, and these three weighing support modules 6 adopt a unique triangular layout. Triangles have high stability in geometry, and this layout allows the three weighing support modules 6 to form a stable support system. In practical applications, regardless of the direction of external forces acting on the mixing tank, such as vibration, collision, or uneven distribution of its own weight, the triangular layout of the weighing support modules 6 can effectively disperse and bear these forces, ensuring that the fixed frame 3 remains stable and does not shake or deform. This stability is crucial for the normal operation of the mixing tank, because during operation, the internal stirring mechanism generates significant vibration and power. If the fixed frame 3 is unstable, it will affect the stirring effect of the stirring mechanism and may even lead to damage to the stirring mechanism, affecting the overall performance of the mixing tank.
[0094] Regarding the connection between the weighing support module 6 and the tank body 1, three support parts 7 are correspondingly provided on the outer wall of the tank body 1, with one weighing support module 6 corresponding to one support part 7. This one-to-one correspondence connection method has many advantages. First, from the perspective of installation and fixation, each weighing support module 6 can achieve precise positioning and stable installation through its matching support part 7. This precise installation method can ensure the installation stability between the weighing support module 6 and the tank body 1.
[0095] Secondly, this corresponding arrangement ensures that the force on the tank 1 is evenly transmitted to the fixed frame 3. When the mixing tank is subjected to various forces during operation, the tank 1 transmits these forces to the weighing support module 6 through the support part 7, and then the weighing support module 6 distributes them to the fixed frame 3. Because the three weighing support modules 6 are arranged in a triangle, a uniform force-bearing surface is formed, allowing the force on the tank 1 to be reasonably distributed and borne, avoiding deformation or damage to the tank 1 due to excessive localized stress. For example, when the mixing tank is undergoing high-speed mixing, the internal material will exert a large impact force on the tank 1. If these forces cannot be evenly transmitted and distributed, stress concentration may occur in certain parts of the tank 1, leading to serious problems such as cracking or deformation. The corresponding arrangement of the three weighing support modules 6 and the three support parts 7 effectively avoids this situation, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of the tank 1.
[0096] Furthermore, this design facilitates the maintenance and repair of the mixing tank. Since each weighing support module 6 and support part 7 is independently corresponding, when maintenance or repair is required on a specific part of the mixing tank, workers can easily disassemble and install the corresponding weighing support module 6 and support part 7 without affecting the normal operation of other components. For example, if repair or replacement of a support part 7 on tank 1 is required, only the corresponding weighing support module 6 and support part 7 need to be disassembled, eliminating the need for large-scale disassembly of the entire mixing tank. This significantly improves maintenance and repair efficiency and reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
[0097] From the perspective of overall structural aesthetics and harmony, the three weighing support modules 6 are arranged in a triangle on the fixed frame 3, echoing the three support parts 7 on the outer wall of the tank 1, forming a harmonious and unified whole. This design not only meets the requirements of industrial aesthetics, but also makes the mixing tank more regular and stable in appearance.
[0098] In summary, in this embodiment, by setting three weighing support modules 6 arranged in a triangular pattern on the fixed frame 3 and setting three corresponding support parts 7 on the outer wall of the tank 1, accurate weighing data is provided for the material proportioning process in the production process, ensuring that various materials can be mixed in a predetermined precise ratio. On the other hand, it provides a stable support for the mixing tank, optimizes the overall structure of the mixing tank, improves the automation level, product quality stability, working performance, safety and maintainability of the mixing tank, and enhances the aesthetic appearance of the mixing tank.
[0099] Please refer to this again. Figure 4 In one embodiment of this invention, the fixing frame 3 is organically composed of two key parts: a base 31 and a support frame 32.
[0100] From an overall structural layout perspective, the base 31, as the fundamental support component of the fixed frame 3, bears the crucial mission of providing stable support for the entire mixing tank system. It typically has a large contact area to ensure the even distribution of the gravity generated by the mixing tank and its internal materials, thus firmly establishing itself on the work site and effectively resisting interference from external factors (such as vibration and collisions), laying a solid foundation for the normal operation of the mixing tank. The base 31 is generally made of high-strength, wear-resistant, and relatively tough materials, such as high-quality steel, and undergoes refined processing techniques, such as welding and heat treatment, to enhance its structural strength and stability, ensuring that it will not deform or crack during long-term use.
[0101] The support frame 32 is cleverly positioned on the base 31, and the two are tightly integrated through a reliable connection, forming an organic whole. The design of the support frame 32 fully considers the structural characteristics and operational requirements of the mixing tank; its shape and dimensions have been precisely calculated and optimized. It not only provides a stable mounting platform for the tank 1 but also bears the responsibility of transmitting and distributing various forces acting on the tank 1. The support frame 32 typically adopts a frame structure, which possesses high strength and rigidity, effectively bearing the weight of the tank 1 and its internal materials, as well as the dynamic loads generated during mixing, while ensuring its own lightweight design. The support frame 32 is also made of high-strength materials, and its load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation are further enhanced through a reasonable structural layout and reinforcing ribs.
[0102] Correspondingly, both the tank body 1 and the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4 are mounted on the support frame 32. The fixing frame 3, through the organic combination of the base 31 and the support frame 32, provides a stable support and a reasonable installation platform for the tank body 1 and the tilting auxiliary mechanism 4.
[0103] Please refer to this again. Figure 4In one embodiment of this invention, the fixing frame 3 is further optimized based on the original structure by adding a key component, the traveling wheel 33. This design greatly improves the flexibility and mobility of the mixing tank.
[0104] The traveling wheels 33 are precisely positioned at the bottom of the base 31, their installation location determined by mechanical analysis and consideration of actual working conditions. The base 31, as the basic support structure of the fixed frame 3, bears the weight of the entire mixing tank and its internal materials. The rational placement of the traveling wheels 33 allows the entire mixing tank to move easily on a horizontal surface, eliminating the need for large lifting equipment or cumbersome manual handling. This significantly improves the efficiency of transporting the mixing tank between different work sites and adapts to diverse production needs.
[0105] Please refer to further information. Figure 5 In one embodiment of this invention, the running wheel 33 is mainly composed of three core parts: wheel frame 331, wheel axle 332, and wheel body 333.
[0106] The wheel frame 331 serves as the connecting component between the traveling wheels 33 and the base 31. It is fixed to the bottom of the base 31 using a high-strength connection method, such as welding or bolting. Welding ensures that the wheel frame 331 and the base 31 form a robust integrated structure that can withstand significant shear and tensile forces; bolting facilitates the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the traveling wheels 33, improving the maintainability of the equipment. The shape and dimensions of the wheel frame 331 are designed to ensure sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand various loads generated during the movement of the mixing tank, while minimizing its own weight to avoid placing excessive burden on the base 31.
[0107] The axle 332 is rotatably mounted on the wheel frame 331, a design crucial for the flexible rotation of the running wheel 33. The axle 332 is typically made of high-strength, wear-resistant metal materials, such as alloy steel, and undergoes precision machining processes, such as turning and grinding, to ensure surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The axle 332 is connected to the wheel frame 331 via bearings. The selection of these bearings is critical; they must not only be able to withstand the radial and axial forces transmitted by the axle 332 but also possess a low coefficient of friction to ensure smooth rotation of the axle 332. During installation, the bearings are precisely installed in designated positions on the wheel frame 331 and secured with appropriate preload to prevent loosening or excessive play during operation.
[0108] The wheel body 333, mounted on the axle 332, is the component that directly contacts the ground and enables the mixing tank to move. The material and tread pattern of the wheel body 333 are selected based on different usage scenarios and ground conditions. For example, on flat indoor floors, the wheel body 333 may be made of rubber, which has good elasticity and wear resistance, reducing vibration and noise; while on rough outdoor floors, the wheel body 333 may be made of polyurethane, which has higher strength and tear resistance. The tread pattern of the wheel body 333 also helps increase friction with the ground, improving the stability and anti-slip performance of the mixing tank during movement.
[0109] In addition, to ensure the safety of the mixing tank during movement, a braking device is specially installed on the axle 332. This braking device offers two options: electromagnetic braking and mechanical braking. Electromagnetic braking utilizes electromagnetic principles to achieve braking, offering advantages such as fast response, smooth braking, and precise control. When braking is required, the electromagnetic braking system rapidly generates electromagnetic force, stopping the wheel 333 from rotating, thus achieving rapid braking of the mixing tank. Mechanical braking achieves braking through mechanical structures, such as friction braking between brake pads and the wheel hub. Mechanical braking features simple structure, high reliability, and large braking force, making it suitable for applications requiring high braking performance. Operators can flexibly select the appropriate braking device according to actual work needs and the operating environment, ensuring the mixing tank remains safe and stable during movement and stopping.
[0110] In summary, in this embodiment, the fixed frame 3, through the provision of the traveling wheels 33 and its intricate structural design, endows the mixing tank with mobility and safety, enabling the mixing tank to be applied more efficiently and flexibly to various production scenarios.
